Seattle Center - Attractions

Attractions

• The International Fountain: located in the middle of the campus, the fountain operates all year round. Built for the 1962 World's Fair, the fountain was built as a modernist water sculpture. With over 20 spouts, the fountain goes through programmed cycles of shooting water patterns, accompanied by recorded world music. The music is changed every month, and chosen to coordinate with the water patterns. Since 2004, World Naked Bike Ride Seattle (and later Body Pride Ride) clothing-optional bike rides often have the fountain as a major stop during their events.
